Morning Meme: Kristin Chenoweth Gets "Hot In Cleveland," Bret Easton Ellis Preps Bisexual Full Frontal Screenplay, and Cat Deeley Teases a Celebrity "SYTYCD" Audition

MTV has finally signed off on a reunion show for 2Gether. The surviving members of the "boy band" will produce their own show and MTV will then air it. I'm fascinated to see how seriously they take this.

I know this photo spread with the theme "Bros Blowin' Shotties" is about sharing a hit, but it looks so sexy and erotic.

Bret Easton Ellis is writing a screenplay for (straight) porn star James Deen to star in. It's meant to be a non-porn film, but Deen has to act and be full-frontal naked banging girls and guys." This could end up being so bad it's good.

While it's theoretically a good thing that Josh Gad, Rory O'Malley, Michael Potts and Andrew Rannells have extended their contracts with The Book of Mormon through 2013, I'm not sure how that squares with the news that Rannells was cast as the lead in Ryan Murphy's new family show.

With the announcement that Democratic state senator Mary Margaret Haugen would vote for marriage equality in Washington, they have the 25th vote for passage. But just like a kicker missing a field goal in a playoff game, she reminds us that it doesn't matter what vote she was, just that she's voting for it. Her full statement should be required reading for every politician on the subject.

Kristin Chenoweth is finally visiting Hot In Cleveland. She'll play a friend of the girls who leaves her longtime boyfriend, a fancy dermatologist to the stars. They have to convince her to go back to him so they can keep getting appointments with him.

Towleroad has an It Gets Better video from out active duty Air Force in Afghanistan that really touched me, likely because of my Air Force roots.

Summer Glau is headed to Seattle Grace for a story arc. I'm trying to imagine the Whedon loyalists forcing themselves to watch Grey'S Anatomy and pretend they like it to support Glau, like they do all of Joss' favorites.

Jason Ritter is going to try out life as a doctor in the upcoming NBC drama County. Frankly, I think I'd have preferred him as a hot fireman in their other new drama, Chicago Fire. I like firemen. Well, Hollywood firemen. The ones who hang out in front of my local fire station just don't look the same.

Christopher Plummer may be barking up the wrong tree when he badmouths Uggi, the scene stealer from The Artist. Granted, his preference for Cosmo, the dog from Beginners might be biased, though his characterization of Terrence Malick is spot on.

Cat Deeley teases that a former celebrity judge is returning to So You Think You Can Dance, but as an auditioner. “He’s my best friend since doing the show,” teased an infectiously giddy Deeley. “He makes me laugh so much. I’m so excited to have him back!” Co-executive producer Jeff Thacker added, “He wanted to come in for an audition, just to see what they’re like. I think he’s going to bring something very special to it.” My guess is her buddy Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

In a rare victory for the 4th Amendment lately, SCOTUS ruled that police must have a warrant before placing a GPS tracking device on your car.

Starz has cast Tom Riley in Da Vinci's Demons, their upcoming eight part series. I'm curious as to how it's written, as many historians believe Da Vinci to have been gay, and the show is billed as “the ‘untold’ story of the world’s greatest genius during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. Brilliant and passionate, the twenty five-year old da Vinci is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist.” I'm also trying to figure out why I was already following Riley on Twitter, unless it was because of his one episode of Bedlam.

NBC has picked up three comedies, including Rosanne Barr's trailer park comedy Downwardly Mobile.

In New Jersey, Governor Chris Christie continues to defy expectations by nominating a gay, African-American Republican mayor and assistant Attorney General to the state supreme court.

PR experts think that as long as Gareth Thomas moves away from reality television after Celebrity Big Brother, the show will be a big boost for his visibility, showing a more human, softer side of the athlete. It's really worth paging through the slideshow from CBB in the article.

Ben Stiller is going to star and produce a series called All Talk on HBO, that revolves around the daily and life-altering dramas of a Jewish family in Washington, DC. Alan Alda is in talks to star.
